Oreo Cream Pies

I need to start out by telling you that if you think you are getting a pie here, you are mistaken.  Do you remember those Oatmeal Cream Pie cookies that you can get individually wrapped in a box?  The cream filling sandwiched between two soft oatmeal cookies...Well, the texture of these cookies reminded me of those little snacks.  The texture only, mind you.  The flavor and substance of these cookies blast those little pies right out of the water!


These cookies start with the same cookie that I used in the White Chocolate Dipped Cocoa Cookies.  Using black cocoa powder gives these cookies an oreo-like flavor and dark brown/black color.  The Oreo filling buttercream is super creamy and soft, and is a perfect match for the dark chocolatey cookie.


Oreo Cream Pies


1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 cups all purpose flour
6 Tablespoons cocoa powder (I used half cocoa powder and half black cocoa powder)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4  teaspoon salt


Oreo Filling Buttercream:
6 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
Filling from 12 Double Stuff Oreos 
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Double Stuff Oreos
Milk to thin (if necessary)


For the cookies, beat the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.  Add the egg and corn syrup and beat until well blended.  In a smaller bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until blended.  Cover and refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour, or until firm.


Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Scoop the dough and roll into approximately 1 inch balls.  Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies flatten.  Cool on the pan for about 1 minute, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a medium bowl, combine the butter and Oreo filling, and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until completely incorporated.  Add the powdered sugar and beat until incorporated.  Beat in the Oreos until they are well crushed into the frosting, with no large chunks remaining.  If the frosting is too thick, beat in small amounts of milk until it reaches the desired consistency.

Spoon the desired amount of frosting on the bottom of one completely cooled cookie.  Top with another cookie and press lightly together.  

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
